### CWI-POOLS - UPDATEShi all ...
as a lot of you know - there have been some pretty major devastating issues that have happened to the thefram recently ... so much so - it instigated a reshuffle of priorities AND funds ...
for the cwi-pool system to be a solid system - it will soon be split into two or three dedicated servers to run the various components of the mpos module of the cwi-pool system ... that is goign to happen soon when we can reestablish the backend to cater for it ... for the time being we are at the stage of improving the level of mining that the cwi-pool system can supply ...
currently - all the x11 / x14 / quark pools now have both low difficulty ( lodiff ) and high difficulty ( hidiff ) ports active ... these ports are here to support those with the cpu / gpu as well as highend gpu / asic / farms / rental ( like nicehash and miningrigrentals ) ...
this is merely a 'brief' to let you all know what everything means on the cwi-pool system - to try and make mining that little bit simpler and easier to do ...
we are dealing with the mpos module of cwi-pools - so they are not too difficult - but not as easy as the non-registration pool we are currently developing ... but we have tried to make the process as simple as a three step method ...
1 - go to the pool landing page and choose a pool and register ( preferrably the granite pool - but being all part of the sso system - any pool should do ) ...
2 - setup your profile with special attention to your workers and payout addresses and amounts ...
3 - set the parameters in your miner to mine on the designated pools ...
lets just use granite ( grn ) for example ...
the very first step is of course to get to the site that directs you to our cwi-pool system and register ... the registration process is simple and painless and only takes a few minutes at most ...
after typing the url for our cwi-pool system - you will be taken to the main pool page ... this page is a work-in-progress and will continue to change and be added to as we continue with this porject ...
the current address ( which will change after the new dedicated servers are implemented ) is -
http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/ ... choose a pool you wish to mine on and click the link ... this will open a new window / tab for the pool ... the top left hand corner of the pool informs you ( the miner ) all you need to know about the pool itself - and if you click that title bar - it will have a pull down menu of any other pools we currently run ... which you can change to just by clicking on the other pool title you wish to look at from this pull down menu ...
the menubar has a few bits of information about the pool you are on ...
ie - 'granite ( grn ) - official pool - x11 | 7000 | 7100 - beta c7x64' ...
the information that is supplied at a glance to you is broken down into these parts ...
the name of the PoW coin ( and the ticker ) - the ownership of the pool - the algo - the lodiff port | the hidiff port - the designation for the level of the testing / working for the pool ( alpha / beta / production ) - and the code we have designated for it ( c7x64 ) ...
in our example above -
- the coin is granite ...
- the ticker is grn ...
- the algorithm is x11 ...
- the lodiff port is 7000 ...
- the hidiff port is 7100 ...
- the testing / working level ...
- the cwi code of the pool server while in alpha / beta ...
in the titlebar of the browser ( in the topmost level of your browser ) shows the current address - currently pool.chainworksindustries.com ...
so all those components are put together as the mining parameters - just add the 'stratum+tcp://' to the beginning of the address - and your personal miner parameters you use for your cards ( like intensity and so forth ) - and you will have the parameters for that particular pool ...
so if you intended on mining granite with a gpu ( or small asic ) the miner parameters would look like so ( using ccminer in linux commandline as an example ) -
./ccminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://pool.chainworksidustries.com:7000/ -O chrysophylax.cwi:x <your personal miner parameters go here>
if you intended on mining dash with a gpu ( or small asic ) the miner would look like so ( using ccminer as an example ) -
./ccminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://pool.chainworksidustries.com:7100/ -O chrysophylax.cwi:x <your personal miner parameters go here>
as far as the instructions that are contained in the 'help' section of the mpos pool is concerned - those settings are a 'standard' settings hardcoded in the mpos pool code - and we will be changing the parts that need to be changed accordingly for the 'help' section - as it is not current on the main 'official' mpos git ( and also outdated / abandoned by the core mpos team ) - and out of date with the newer miners available today ... but that will not take priority just yet ...
a smaller more compact version will be created in the main page of all the pools - so that there is no ambiguity ... unless of course - there are special settings that will need to be implemented ... the current stratum / mpos settings that we have now - do not require any of these more 'exotic' settings for the more 'exotic' algorithms as yet ...
the sha256d and scrypt pools will follow suit - starting with the bitcoin pool ... implementing two ports are not that simple - but will be required for our miners to use - and will make it almost effortsless to mine with both light and heavy mining equipment ...
we hope this post has been helpful - and hope to see you mining away ...
as with all things cwi - any feedback is appreciated - any help is appreciated - any issue please post ... and if you can test any or all the ports available for mining on all our pools - please do ... we do not have all the equipment currently to test every single algo ( especially asic sha256d and scrypt ) - but that will change as we rebuild cwi-thefarm once again ...
if you have the equipment - and want to try out another another pool system - and want to help us create a better one by testing and mining - then please direct any and all hashrates you are willing to hit the pools with ...
ALL cwi-pools will have the same VERY low 0.7% fee - and any donations you wish to give - to keep this all progressing in a forward and positive direction ... with more pools being added as time and servers permit ... if you have any suggestions as to what pools we should add - please fire away and list them ... we cannot implement all algos yet - but ill amend this post with the algos we can add ( almost ) immediately ...
